PBCup is back and hosted by eR33t.
This is an introduction to what will be happening in the next weeks. I am going to give an outline of the league and how it is going to be hopefully ran . We will be using the PBCup sub-section, although since it hasn't been used in over a year I figured I would start here with the introduction. There are going to be a few changes from how it was ran in the past. Also I would like to note that nothing said here is in stone; therefore, everything has the possibility to change.
~~~Outline~~~
-PBCup Summer 2009 will be in a Four vs. Four format as it has been in the past.
-The league will start in early June.
-We are planning on having FOUR weeks of regular season. This will include roughly seven matches with one bye. Therefore each team will have about two matches a week. After that playoffs will take place.
-The maplist is currently under discussion. We will either have 7, 9, or 11 maps.
~~~Rules~~~
-The two teams competing will choose the time that they want to do their match.
-Each match will consist of 3 maps. One map chosen by your team, one by the other team, and the final will be a tie map that is ALWAYS played.
-You can only choose a map ONCE (this may change) in the regular season.
-The tie map will be chosen in one of two formats (not decided yet).
A. A tie map assigned to each half-week.
B. Each team chooses their map then the maps they DON'T want. See below for example.
Example with 7 maps: You choose 'A', the other team choose 'B'. That leaves 5 maps left, each team then choose two maps they don't want to play for the tie. The fifth map that is left is the tie map.
-There will be some form of a 'ticket' system to prevent clan hopping. For example each player has four tickets. That means they can only change rosters four times throughout the whole season. Rosters will be locked before playoffs start.
-Each map you win will award you with 1 point. For example you can get 3 points in a match if you win all three maps. Regardless of winning the first two maps, the tie map is played.
Hopefully PBCup can make a full comeback and create a stable league in DP. This will need participation from many of the clans in DP. I would also like to note that nothing is set in stone; therefore, everything has the chance to change. Please post all comments, questions, and concerns.
